MAJOR KEY BENEFITS
Promotes Equality & Economic Power
Dr. Chavan adds that it is crucial to imbibe respect for the mother and woman from a very early age. And this in turn will help curb all the wrongful actions that are happening against women. She believes that mentioning a woman’s name on important documents like birth certificates and passports promotes equality. This ensures she becomes a decision-maker regarding her property and holdings. It provides economic security and sustainable income if she chooses to rent or sell her property.
Symbolic Step Valuing Women
The point to note is that the purpose of including the mothers’ names after the child’s name goes beyond basic legal and logistical reforms, as it represents a crucial symbolic step toward women’s empowerment. We create a world that values women by recognizing moms’ critical role in communities and valuing the birth giver.
